"It seems like you have been through a lot," Anfey said. "So I'm curious. How did you end up with the likes of Ahab?"
"I thought they were a normal merchant’s caravan," the princess said, sighing.
"In deserted places like that, a normal caravan can easily turn into bandits, as long as there is a good enough motive."
"I know now."
"How did you end up in the Country of Mercenaries?" Anfey asked, switching the topic.
"I thought I would at least deserve a satisfying marriage, after everything I've done." A smile bloomed on the princess’s face, but her eyes were cold. "I objected, but it was to no avail. So there I was."
"After you were captured by Ahab?"
"I couldn’t tell them who I was. Isis was afraid they would hurt me, so she told them who I was. Thank god Ahab wasn’t there, or else he would have either killed me or sent me to the Tiger of Tawau mercenaries."
